Equality Roundup from Texas and the Nation

Chick-fil-A is anti-gay. Chick-fil-A's Chief Operating Officer opposes marriage equality. Dan Cathy, Chick-fil-A's COO gave Americans a good reason to have a hamburger this weekend when he publicly announced his membership in the shrinking minority of Americans who oppose marriage equality.

A family delivered 300,000 signatures to the Boy Scouts of America headquarters petitioning the organization to admit openly gay members. The Boy Scouts of America reaffirmed its discriminatory policy in response.

Homophobe and former Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee suggested on his radio show last week that the Boy Scouts of America policy of discriminating against gay scouts and leaders is “right” because it protects boys from abuse.
